From the August 18, 2022, Chicago Tribune "Jum Belushi fully prepped for return as 'Joliet' Jake" by Darcel Rockett.
The inaugural Blues Brothers Con is just a few hours away now. Are you ready to "Shake a Tailfeather," get that old-time religion or find out why there is chicken wire on the stage at Bob's Country Bunker?
If so, you need to be in Joliet, just a bit off good old Route 66. In a world where comic books, TV shows and movies get their conventions, the 1980s movie "Blues Brothers" finally gets its own.
I have already written about it in this blog, but here is some more on it. It will take place at the Old Joliet Prison on August 19 and 20. Of course, this place also served as the introduction of the movie where Joliet Jake (John Belushi) is walking the corridor and meets brother Dan Aykroyd in the Bluesmobile outside.
I must admit that "Blues Brothers" is my second all-time favorite film after "Animal House."
